Two Good DOG Stories.
From &c Boston 4ranscript.

The other day our Newfoundland dog was
playing on the porch with our little girl, 4
years old, when she opened the gate and
went out The dog did not follow her.
Some time afterward the child's mother
come out, discovered her absence and said to
the dog:
"Where is NellieF' The dog looked as if
he knew, and wagged his tail furiously.
go this instant, said the mother, land
find Nellie and bring her home"
Out over the gate few the dog and started
down the street to a neighbours house not
far off. Nellie was playing there inside the
house, and saw the dog come and scratch at
the veranda window.
II know what he wants, said the little
girl, ''he wants me to go home, but I'm not
going to do it!''
The dog was not admitted. but he fingered
near like Mary's little lamb, and when two
ladies called presently he brushed in past
them through the door. Then, rushing up
to Nellie, he seized her dress with his teeth
and began dragging her to the door. An
attempt was made to drag him off, but he
growled and held his place. The little girl,
beginning to be frightened, gave up all re-
sistence and trotted home by his side, and
he delivered her with an air of triumph into
her mothers hands. What instinct would
lead dog to do that!
IA suburban resident was walking at night
not long ago across meadow, and losing
the path in the darkness fell into ditch.
His dog, a collie, had been running about in
an aimless way over the field Gathering
himself up the gentleman called the dog,
and crouching over him said sharply:
'Now see here, Mac, | want you to show
me the path across the meadow Go right
ahead of me, do you hear, and show me the
path-show me the PATH"
The dog obeyed to the letter. With his
nose to the ground he followed the path
faithfully, with his master at his heals clear
across the meadow, until he had approached
to within two or three rods of the limits of
the field. Then he began to waver from
side to side as if looking vainly for the
path, and showed great confusion and even
shame. Next day the gentlemen went over
the ground by daylight, and discovered that
at the point where the dog began to waver
the path was entirely lost in the thick
grass.

A Cool French Murderess.


FROM GGttgndnTS Messenger.
A young woman has just been sentenced
at st. Lornard to hard labor for life for the
murder of her husband, a farmer named
Fourcanlt, only % years old, who died after
n few days illness. At the trial it was
shown that the farmer recently summary
dismissed young servant named Alleron.
boy only ID years old, whom he had found
indulging in familiarities with his wife, and
that the woman had from that hour deter
mined on getting rid of her husband. In
the middle of last month Madame
Fourcault bought some arsenic at q
chemists in Argentan for the pur-
pose of killing rats, as she said, but she put
half the poison she had bought in her hus-
bands soup. He ate the soup withont no.
ticfng anything wrong about it, but soon
afterward was taken very ILL., and died N
great suffering. During her husbands short
illness the woman displayed the most revolt
ing cynicism. She had sent for young Al
leron, with whom, as the farmer lay dying.
she renewed her intrigue. After she was
arrested Madame Fourcault made full con-
feSsion, but without the slightest emotion or
lemorse. She said that she had tried TO
poison her husband on previous occasion
by putting arsenic in his coffee; but she had
abandoned the idea for a time, as she had
feared that her victim would notice the APP
pearance OF foreign substance in his coffee.

Charges Against the Pennsylvania
Company for Violation of the Law.

Charges Against the Pennsylvania
Company for Violation of the Law.
WASHINGTON, May 23.--Before the In
terstatc Commerce Commission to-day
William Brown, in behalf tho Chicago and
Alton Railroad Company, filed charges
against the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany of a violation of the interstate act
He charged specifically that thePennsylvania
Company had unlawfully given preference
and advantage to the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy Railroad Company
in the interchange OF passengers at
Chicago, and denied to the Chicago
and Alton reasonable facilities for the inter
change OF the passenger traffic. Mr.. Brown
also filed in behalf of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railroad similar charges
against the New York Central and the Hud-
son River Railroad Company. The com-
mission after hearing his statements entered
an order for the companies against which
the complaints are made to appear and
make answer i'll ten days.
A PROTEST AGAINST CLAUSE FOUR.
The commission has received a commune
cation from the Mississippi Railroad Com
pany, protesting against section 4. Their
protest is based upon the following reasons:
First. Because the permanent Suspension
of the section referred to would emasculate
the law to such an extent as to render it
almost nugatory and thereby defeat the
purpose of Congress
Second Because the enforcement of this
section would, in our opinion, be a great
relief to the small towns of the country and
the people who live along the lines of rail-
roads and away from trade centres. This
is our opinion, as class standing in need of
protection against the unjust and oppressive
exactions of railroad corporations.
